Vladimir Putin has been ruling Russia since 1999. In that time he has
shaped the country into an authoritarian and militaristic society. The
Soviet Union dissolved into 15 new countries, including the new Russian
Federation. In Putin’s eyes, Russia had just lost 2 million square miles
of territory. But Putin’s regime has also developed and fostered the
most effect cyber hacker army in the world and he’s used it to wreak
havoc in the West. But the election of Donald Trump brings new hope for
the Putin vision. Trump’s rhetoric has been notably soft on Russia. He
could lift sanctions and weaken NATO, potentially freeing up space for
Putin’s Russia to become a dominant power once again.
